One of the things you want to consider is not only build quality but service after the fact. I have a Pass Labs X250 sounds wonderful bought it second hand if I have questions I can call Pass Labs and they will answer questions as if you just made the perchase yesterday.
Have communicated with Kent English a number of times always willing to help.
I also just bought a PS Audio Signiture 250 amplifier best I have ever herd for the money.
Also CS is outstanding have communicated with Founder ( Paul M) he responded to my email within hours. Call an 800 for Marantz took 3 weeks to get a call back and it was the USA sales line
Also in my opinion Luxman and Macintosh do not have the build quality they had years ago. I have also heard repair on Macintosh even from a certified repair shop sucks.
Also not sure why one of the people that responded would want to keep his amp on 24/7 if someone has the answer please respond
